Starfighter Pilot

Andrew#s a starfighter pilot

He can get high in his jet

Tells me about all his women

He can get any I'll bet

Andrew's a starfighter pilot

He knows all the girls in the world

He's better than James Kirk ir Tweeky

I cradle his picture at night

You know I'll think of you

Your picture on the wall

I would raise my drink to you

But I'll stay sober just for you

Andrew's a starfighter pilot

I watch him on TV each day

I've got all the toys from his programme

And all of his past shows on tape
